WHAT IS ART THERAPY?
At Art For Peace, we believe that art is a gateway to transformation. Through art, we invite you to embark on a journey of self-expression, healing, and empowerment.
As Paolo Knill, the pioneer of Expressive Arts Therapy, beautifully put it, art therapy is about soul-making: a process of creating a dialogue with imagination and symbols, making sense of them, and building bridges with real-life.
Our reality is shaped by how we look at it, and when words are not enough, art becomes a universal language of imagination. We make art to make sense of our experiences, to see ourselves more clearly, and to create new possibilities for our lives.
ART THERAPY IS FOR YOU IF...
🎨 You feel stuck in any area of your life.
🎨 You long for deeper meaning and connection.
🎨 You struggle with depression, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm.
🎨 You seek a way to reconnect with yourself beyond words.
At Art For Peace, you can experience art therapy in a way that fits your needs:
✨ Live & Online Private Sessions: A safe, one-on-one space to explore emotions, release inner blocks, and rediscover your path.
✨ Live & Online Group Therapy: A powerful, supportive experience that fosters connection, self-expression, and shared healing.
Our accredited art therapists (ARAET, ARTECURA) are also certified by ASCA, a Swiss institution for complementary health practices, which allows you to be paid back by complementary Swiss insurance.
WHAT ART THERAPY IS NOT:
🚫 Coloring mandalas in a sketchbook.
🚫 Reserved for artists or people with “talent.”
🚫 A traditional art class.
Because in Expressive Arts Therapy, you don’t need to be an artist to create.
You only need low skills but high sensitivity—an open heart, a willingness to explore, and a curiosity to let the creative process guide you.
